The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A gentle physics puzzler where you nudge a fragile ball past simple enemies and colored buttons to reach a goal.

What players say

Players are split on this isometric ball-rolling game: some compare its trial-and-error difficulty to Super Meat Boy, others say the fixed camera makes it impossible to judge heights. Keyboard controls are widely called unplayable, and the forced level timers divide opinion.
